t tliA/T.E A NOTE OP.
xatirA late letter from Washington says--
" The new Administration has sanotioned some
of the acts of the late Government, which
wore so lately denounced as abusei and cor
ruptions.. Thus, the capitol contracts have
been sustained, and for tho reason, as is sta
ted, that the War Department would be. em
barrassed in its operation, if all its contracts
should, upon like objeotionsbe annulled.
The arrangement, whatever it . was, which Mr.
Corwin made with Mr. Simeon Draper, last
December, for the purchase of the United
States Stooks, at market rates, not exceeding
a" certain rate, hes been corifirnied,-ana is, as
it appears, to be carried out.
MARYLAND.
'This State promises to be the theatre, at
the next State election, of a violent sectarian
or religioue , Warfare, in which party lines will
be, to -a great extent, obliterated. Baltimore
has been,' for several weeks, full of excite
ment relatiYe to. the Catholic movement for
Changing the public schoolaystem, so that a
portion of the school fund shall be given to
the Catholic free schools of the city. .The
most bitter feeling has been engendered by it,
and the papers are teeming with anonymous
squibs against the priests on one side and the
• clergymen on the other. The same feeling is
abroad throughout the . State, and there is
little doubt that the election . for Governor,
Legislature, and State officers, next fall, will
bo controlled in a measure by this religious
excitement. A large portion of the Catholics
are Democrats, and they are making great oi
ertions to secure the nomination of a Catholic
candidate for Governor. Many Protestant
Democrats declare that they will vote for the
Whig candidate, in preference to a Catholic
candidate.

WIZ STATE OF-PARTIES.
This may bp said to be the dinner-time of
the Democracy, says the Baltimore American.
When mon are beginning feed after a long
fast their minds and muscles are apt to be re
/Wed from,all occupations, eivio the task be
fore them. During the recess :of Congress,
and with peaceful foreign:relations, the Execi
utive and his Cabinet have no employment
but the distribution of patronage.: This is a
task in which all 'parties 'have indulged, and
the daily list of.appointments at Washington
shows that President Pierce is as zealous as
some of his predecessors in making- ofEcie—
which is properly only n service--- 7 a reward and
a bait foi. politicians. Still we are not sur
prised to understand that ho is unsuccessful
in satisfying the numerous factions which cel
ebrated a temporary truce in order to concen
trate their vote against the Whigs. The
mutual dislike or hatreclamongst these frag
ments is quite ris great as the enmity of the
two original parties; and the, President is
now, in all likelihood, realiiing the hopeless
ness of - his promised - effort' to'lleal - the - dissen- -
sions of the democracy, and to make it,once
more a united and-happy; family.
A great, controlling- will, like tlirkpf Jack
son,,.might produce this result; but the cir
cumstances of President Pierce's nomination
prove that he is not such amjnearnation of
the DemOcratio party as hie illustrious prede
cessor was. Parties in this :country, ore no
longer what they were. Federalists and Dem
, aunts faded into each other years
Whigs and Democrats have agreed on many
fundamental points since the days of Van
Buren. The Constitutional changes in most
of our States 'hero ilelpeci to popularize pa
tronage, and to divert attention from cardinal
principles to men. When Legislators notonly
made laws, but elected Governors, who ap
pointed' Judges and possessed an , ostensive
patronage, it was object for the people to
choose good representatiieh whose functions
were so ample. But now, the Governor, the
Judge* the tegislator, the Councillor and the
Constable, stand on the same line before the
people, and he who is most skilful in election
miring or intrigue wins the priie. The con
sequence is that , it is the man and-not the
principle that is becoming daily more and more
potent throughout :our "reformed" Union
This is i3rown even ifftlMPresidential election.
In that struggleit it to be supposed that prin
ciples would be diligently scanned, but these
obsolete fundamentals aro now abandoned for
platforms,"' which are ' nothing bu't skilful
evasions of delicate questions, or eloquent
non-committals.
We have long ago deol'areci that WO intended
to judge President Pierce candidly by his sets,
and to this resolution we shall adhere when
his executive policy is developed in something
else than removals from office. In the mean
while it is the duty of the Whigs to preserve
intact their distinctive character.. Their nuni i
bore, as indicated by the vote for the Presi
dency, are very large. Gen. Pierce.reeeived
1,607,722 votes; Gets. Scott, 1,886,084, and
all others 178,218. Bush a number forms the
nucleus of a very respectable party, whose
conservative tendencies Eava been the balance
wheel of our government in its most perilous
hours. %Vhig conservatism is not vie inertice.
It is not stupid immovability. It is.a regular
march, led by regular officers, proceeding to
harmonious music, instead of the headlong rush
of an eager and panting crowd, whose disor
der is as dangerous_ as its impetuolity. -

MRS: STOWE AND THE NOBILITY
s ' On the 7th inst., a large number of ladies
and gentlemen, OAracing many of the aris
tocracy of England,' assembled at Stafford
Rouse, in London,, the' resideil6 of theoDuke
of Sutherland, to give expFeasion to their re
spect and ad — iiiiration for Mrs. 11. B. Stowe,
the American authoress oethe . auccessfiil sto
ry of " Uncle Tom'a Cabin." That lady, ac
companied by her husband and brother, was
ushered through the magnificent circle of
rooms, on the-ground Boole the'Phiture gal
lery, where the Duchess of Sutherland, and a
distinguished party received their guests, and
after some preliminary intioductions, the long
talked of address from the women of England
to tile - Women - of America, on slavery, -was pre-•
seated by the 'Earl of Shaftesbury, and re
sponded ;to by the Rev. Mr. Beecher, the a
foresaid brother of Mrs. Stowe:
In conversations with the Duohasses .of
Southerland and Aigyle, Mrs. Stowe stilted
that the lades of England were not at all
awsre of tho•real state of feeling of the ladies
• of-America-on -the-subject-of slavery,_and that
it must not be judged by the answer sent to
the address, nor by the statements in the
American newspapers—the ladies of America
being prevented by their husbands' personal
and political feelings from saying what they
feel on the subject., The Madam cities not sp
riest; dispesed to bo very oomplimenta . ry, to her
sisters at home, it must be Confessed, and, we
should think, - they Would hardly thank her for
this.
Among the distinguished personages . who
waited 'upon Mrs. Stowe, we see the names of
Lord Palmerston, Lord John Russell, the Earl
of Carlisle, Mr. Gladstone, the Marquis of
Lansdowne, the Bishop of Oxford, the Arch
bishop of Dublin, the Prussian Minister, Che
inlier,,Dlunser, Bon. Mr. Macaulay, the Coun
tess Dowager of Carlisle, etc.
- The London Times says:
"Mrs. Stowe is rather below the middle
size. She was neatly but plainly attired, and,
wearing no bend dress, her appearance form
ed a remarkable contrast with the numerous
groups of Indies arrayed in all the brilliancy
and variety of demitoiletto."
r,:lte—The annual meeting of the British anti
Foreign Anti-Salvery Society was hold at Ex
eter Hall, 'London, on the 16th, the Earl of
Shaftesbury presiding. The Tint& report
says
" When Mrs. Stowe entered, the excitement
of the assembled. audience roso to a tremen
dens pitch, and it was several minutes before
the cheers, with which the hall rung ngain,
lied sufficiently relit them. . When she
withdrew the same honors were paid to her,
every one standing up and cheering with herirt
and soul." Earl Shaftesbury, Professor Stowe,
and Rev. S. Ward, a colored preacher from
Canada, addressed the meeting,
LOCOFOCO EULOGY OF RUSSIA.
tota_ThelVashington Union,presumed to bo,
we khow not hew correctly, the organ of. the
present Locofoco National Administration, has
startled Young America from its proprieties,
by coming out the flatfooted defender an s d
eulogist of the autocrat of all the Russias !
The Russsan despotism, with all its abomina
tions of casts, serfdorns, knouts, and women
flogging, has all at once, in the eyes of the'
so-called dcmocritfic"(!) organ, become the
most honest, beneficent and fitting yoke that
could by any possibility bo plaoed'upon the
submigaive necks ofits people. The Union
does not yet inform us—perhaps that is re-,
served for another chapter in this rocreanoy to
republican principles,—whether this beautiful
and beneficent autocracy, of which it seems
so much enamored—may not, after all, be
much betterfor the 'people of our own United
States__even_thait_our—present institutions—
Who Icnows We wait, says the Boston Atlas,
with'all proper impatience to be enlightened on
this point. We would like to know, too, if it
be not an impertinent question, how far ..our
respected President and his estimable cabinet
of executioners of petty clerks entl• pootmast
ere, sympathies with the Union in thls now
phasis. If they can rest a sufficiently long
time from their dignified and honorable duties
of beheading tidewaters, messengers, clerks
and other subordinate office holders, to give at
tention to the subject, we would lie happy to
be informed whether we may take the recent
manifesto of the Unicn as official democracy.—
If so we should really like to hnow it.
SINGULAR TRADOEDY AT SOMERVILLE, MASS.
—On Wednesday, at the Lunatic Asylum, in
Somerville, ,Massachusetts, Mrs.. Strong, an
aged lunatic, was found dead beside a bed, in
the room of Mrs. Jameson, another lunatic,
who, at the time of the discovery, was kneel
ing on the bed, in the attitude of prayer.
Mrs. ; Jameson, on being questioned as to the
denth of Mrs. Strong, gave the following ac
count:
I beard Mrs. Strong asking for light—this
was her constant habit—it occurred to mo
that the Lord bad delivered her into my hands,
and that if there was any more light in the
other world, she should see it. She had been
plaguing me many months with this enquiry, -
and now,' one of the attendants being gone
out ; and the other preparing dinner, I deter-
Mined to be rid of the annoyance. I accord
ingly slipped out into the gallery and invited
Mrs. S._into my robin. She came -with me
willingly ; she had on two cape'; I took them
off and tied them round her neck ; the strings
broke. She stood still, close to me, making
no resistance, so I knew the Lord had given
her to me. I then put my bands around her
throat and choked her. I then laid her down,
'on the-floor softly, so as to make no noise, and
took off one of my stockings and put it around
her ucck, pulling it as hardes.l tionld=butit.
was no use, she was already dead ; I felt her
pulse and I knew it. While I was doing' this
1 said my prayers, and thanked the Lord that
he lied permitted me thus to glorify Ihis
The trustees of the ,'lnstitution are in
vestigating the matter. The deceased, Mrs.
Strong, and also Mrs. Jameson, aro respecta
bly connected, but for sometime have been'
hopelessly insane.

IMPORTANT FROM MEXICO.
DotCs from the city of Mexico to the 9th,
and Vora Cruz to the 22d ult., were received
at New Orleans on' Wednesday last. The ac
counts state that the New Government of Santa
Anna was adopting severe measures against
kill holding opinions deemed pernicious. The
arrest of all whd served as guerillas in the
American army, during the late :war, has been
ordered,.and they aro to be tried. The Court
Martial publishes a list of the Mexican officers
who surrendered as prisoners of war to Gen.
Scott when the . Capital was taketi,_and has
issued a dsgreeilegrading them from their
rank in themrmy, and distiziesing them:from
civil employments.
On the 7th ult. a revolution broke but
among the National Guards, in consequence
of an order received from the Government to
incorporate National Guardi'ivith the Troops
of the Line... The revolution lasted three days,
during which time business was entirely sus
pended. The regular troops had possession
of both forts, and the National Guards of the
streets and the city gates. A brisk firing was
kept up the whole time, but, finally, the diffi
cult), was ended on the 20th, by th; regular
troops from Jalapa, who entered the city and
took fifty of the National Guards prisoners.
Subsequently quiet was restored. About fifty
of the guards were killed and thony_woundrd.
Later accounts, dated pity of Mexico, May
18, state that Santa Anna bad issued many
other arbitrary decrees. -Legislative authority
of all kinds had been suSpended throughout
the Republic, and the offices of Governor and
Military Commandant have been united in the
same person.

ted States and Falcon. The Georgia sailed for
New York from Aspinwall ,on the 16th, with'
two hundred passengers and $2,800,000 in
gold. The Grand Jury did not find a true bill
for manslaughter in the , ease of Capt. Samp
son, of • the lost steamship Independence. The
.trtrof 'San Francisco hasngain been exposed
to texrible calamity, by_ three fires in almost
immediate succession, but they were fortu

with the destructive effects of previous confla
grations. The efforts of the firemen to save
the city from threatening flames, aro spoken

Dickinson College
All cases of contagious disease having dis
appeared, and the buildings having been thor
oughly cleansed imiLlaitewashal, the Faculty
have directed that College duties bo resumed
on the Bth of June. In their opinion the ab
sent students mai , return to their studies with
•
entire safety.
• Two. or three cases of varioloid of-a mild
form tire reported among children in town.
None of them are regarded as dangerous.
Parents should • see that their children are
vaccinated. Those who nro unable to pay for
it, can Lave it done by applying to,the Phy
sicians who have been employed by . the bor
ough authdrities to attend to such cases. It
is sufficiently demonstrated that vaccination,
if it does not secure absolute exemption from
the disease reduces it to the mildest for:m, and
.tIO - Prives it of its terrors. There have been

Water Company Election...
The .stockholders. cf the Carlisle Gns and
Water dorilpany will meet on &Aurally the
11 thlnst., as will be seen by the notice in our
advertising columns, to organize said company
by the election of a Presidelit and Boned — of
Managers. Since the .first meeting of the
Commissioners additional subscriptions to the
stock to the amount of some $l3OOO have been'
made, and it is confidently expected that the
Town Coundil will,'at-their meeting on Thurs•
day evening, authorize a subscription' to the
Stock on the part of the borough to the amount
dargnated in the net of incorporation. Upon
doing this the Borough will he entitled to ap
point three of the Managers of the Gas and
Water. Company. . Our citizens' have with
great unanimity petitioned the COuncil for
such subscription, and with so strong an ex
pression of the popular will in its favor that
body can have no lidsitation in making it to
the required amount. .
The Volunteer pun but a just tribute of
praise to Judge W,Arrs' efforts in behalf of the
gas and water company: . The Judge has been
the very life and soul, of the enterprise. We
presume ho will be elected President of the
company by acclamation.
Ottr Improvements Abrond
The Sbippensburg News notices the project
for supplying our borough with water and gas
in the following terms:
.4 Th 9 citizens of Carlisle are determined to
have their town lighted with gas end supplied
with water, This is right; a town possessing
the natural advantage's that Califilic does,
should not be without water works at all. We
understand that a greater portion of the stock
has been taken, and that the books are rapidly
filling up. The Town Council have not yet
taken any notion on the subject, but it is
thought will at least subscribe for twenty-five
thousand dollars worth of stock at their next
meeting. This will place the enterprise be
yond the possibility of failul.e, and will ensure
the immediate commencement of the work.
We rejoice to see the epirif of progress mani
fested by the citizens of our county town, es
the introduction of water and gas, together
with the magnificent public, buildings with
which our county will soon be supplied, will
place Carlisle in a position equal if not ahead
of any , other town in Pennsylvania. We hope
they will vigorously push forward the work."
This extract is dictated in the true spirit,
and we copy it with genuine pleasure. The
inimical feeling sometimes exhibited toward
the county-town by those who live in the same
county, is a contracted and illiberal feeling,
altogether unworthy of an enlightened people.
The capital of our country—the metropolis of
our State—the principal town of our county—
instead of being objects of petty jealousy
should on the contrary be regarded with pride,
as places in which the community at large
have in a great degree a common interest.
